OSS October 2017 (Marston/Headington)

The second Street-O of the 2017-18 season will be around the streets of Marston & Headington and has been planned by Marcin Krzysztofik. The map was redrawn by Ben Green last year and takes in New Marston, Headington Hill, Central Headington and, for those in search of the big scores, one or two parts of St Clements.

Event centre

The event centre is at the OXSRAD sports and leisure centre in Marston, Oxford, OX3 0NQ.

We would encourage you to arrive on foot, by bicycle or by public transport if possible. There is a car park at the centre if you are coming from further afield, though.

Race Format

60 minute score (visit as many controls as you can and return within 60 minutes). Remember to bring a watch and a pen! Start times are between 6.30pm and 8pm, starting whenever you’re ready. Entry costs £2. See About Street-O for a more detailed description. A head torch may be useful as the evenings are now drawing in.

Terrain

Tarmac roads and paths. Most roads have a 20mph limit and low traffic levels. London Road is busy but there are plenty of sensible crossing points – please take care.

Social

If you can, please stay after you have run to discuss routes, mistakes, the weather or anything else that takes your fancy. The OXSRAD bar will be open and food will be available afterwards.
